KEEP or PASS – HIGH/LOW
1. This is a seven card stud game. Players will end up with three
down cards and four up cards from which they make their best
five card hand either high or low.
2. The method used to deal the seven cards is unique and quite
different than the standard method of dealing seven card stud.
3. Each player is dealt three down cards. The players then roll one
card of their choice (turn it up). A bet follows; standard betting
rules apply. High hand has the first option of check, bet, or fold.
4. The dealer now places a card in front of the first player to his
left. That player has the option of keeping the card or passing it
to the next player. If the card is passed, the passer puts one unit
into the pot. The passer then gets a new card which he MUST
keep.
5. The second player has the option of keeping the passed card or
passing it to the next player. If he keeps the card, it costs
nothing. If he chooses to pass it, he MUST put one unit into the
pot. The passer then gets a new card which he MUST keep. If
the player kept the card , the dealer turns up a new card for the
next player. When it’s the dealer’s turn, he has the option of
keeping the card or burying it at a one unit cost. If he keeps it,
there is no fee. If he buried it, he gets a new card which he
MUST keep. This procedure continues until all players have four
up cards.
6. If during passing rounds, a card being passed would give the
next player a pair, it costs the passer two units. If during the
passing of the fourth up card, if the card being passed would
give the receiver three of a kind, two pairs, four cards to a
straight or flush, it would cost the passer five units if he/she
chooses to pass the card.
7. The seventh card is dealt to the first player face down. Only the
player it was dealt to sees it. The same passing rules apply, one
unit in the pot to pass, no cost to keep. If the card is passed, it is
passed face down. The passer then gets his last card down.
